- September 2: Cotton producers: Advance crop sales… Cotton futures have set back from multi-year highs amid a move lower across the ag complex. Fundamental support looks wary as the export book is slim and domestic use is light. We advise producers to take advantage of the rally and sell another 10% of expected 2026 production. You should now be 70% foward sold on anticipated 2026 production. We look to initiate 2027 sales soon.
